Default Printshops that can do sublimation?

Hey guys,
What shops do oversized sublimation prints?

An example would be:
Rockett Clothing - Ghost Girl

So I'm not looking to do this myself, I just need some help finding companies who can print a design like this for me.

If you could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Max

Check with your vendor. Some sublimation vendors like Conde have a fullfillment department available to their active clients.

Max - You need to know your market and what is acceptable to your client. If you look closely at the picture and read the fine print there are "imperfections" which they claim is part of the digital process. Translated - there are voids (areas left white) which even at the thumbnail view you can see up by the shoulders. There are probably more around the arm pits. I find it interesting that when you click to "view full size" you do not get the image full size which would make the "imperfections' significantly more noticeable. The digital process does not cause the imperfections. What cause them is pressing a full size image on a premade shirt. To some these "imperfections" are acceptable to others they are surprised at what they receive. The only way through dye sublimation you can create a truly high end shirt like that without the "imperfections" is via cut and sew methods where you are printing on bulk fabric then cutting and sewing the pieces together. Typically can be done for the same price $30 range, as pressing a premade shirt.

Thanks Mark, I'm aware of the printing imperfections that occur when printing on a premade shirt. It was actually the look that I planned on, so it isn't a big issue.

I also have a question for you. Does your company also do this type of printing on t-shirts or is it only on the jerseys?

We do that type of printing and make custom shirts for rock bands etc but they are all cut and sew. We can make a full dye cut and sew shirts for basically the same price as printing on premade shirts thus we shy away from that technique.
